I try to quote clients for the amount of time it will take me to do a website the right way. Following the standards and implementing solutions which fit in with the regulations (in the UK I believe there are laws covering accessible websites) is always the right way. Setting your pricing to cover this would be a good move. I'm a realist as well, but I believe that you should only do things the non-standard, inaccessible, non-degradable, easy way when there's a very strong business reason to do it. Off the top of my head the only valid reason I can think of for ignoring the standards and accessibility would be when you're writing a private intranet with known client software and users.
